Chris Floyd - KPMG

TRUE recently commissioned CHRIS FLOYD to shoot a campaign for KPMG, featuring real people working in ESG (European Social Governance) - all leaders in their field who are passionate about creating environmental and social change in business.

Chris shot stills and motion portraits to complement landscapes sourced by the agency, with super-stylist SASHA BARRIE working closely with the models to select strong, stylish wardrobe accentuating tones within the backgrounds.

Huge thanks to True and all our amazing team for creating a super strong body of work. Please scroll down to view just a small selection of the final images ๐Ÿ‘‡.

In Chrisโ€™s words:

โ€œOne of the pleasures of my job, as I have said often, is that I get the chance to learn a little bit about a lot of things. In this case, the work done by the leading partners at one of the worldโ€™s most prestigious accountancy firms, who are responsible for the formulation and implication of their clientsโ€™ ESG policies and strategies - all of whom come directly from a climate-based background. It was indeed a great insight to talk with and listen to how these people are actively seeking to shift the ground as we move through the transition to a zero carbon world. It gives me hope to be in the presence of people who have a plan and are actively seeking to make it a reality.โ€

We are loving the mood and tones of this series. Super lovely work ๐Ÿ™Œ
